Just Take A Look at Me Now

     It's important for my partner to be Self-Aware and Self-Realized. You might say to yourself, "Sure, those things sound good, I have got to be those things!"

 Are you? Maybe. Ask yourself these questions:

-What kind of things make me happy or sad? Why?
-What parts of me do I dislike? What can I do to deal with those things?
-What brings meaning and purpose into my life, and how am I pursuing it/them?
-What are my goals for life and what am I doing to help achieve those goals?
-What aspects of life do I want to explore?
-Who am I and what do I want to be?
-Can I make a difference in the world? What would that look like?

     If you struggled (which is okay), or if you took a long time on a question or two, try mapping out who you are and what you want out of life and go for it with all you have. I'm not saying I have everything figured out. I'm saying that I finally started, and I'm on the path, even though it took me far too long to initially realize these things.

     I've set the navigation for this journey that is my life, and I want to come alongside someone else and weave our hopes and dreams together. It's a beautiful thing for two people who truly care for each other to push each other to greater and greater heights of purpose and  meaning. And there is a beauty in knowing your place in the world to help alleviate suffering, and the important and fulfilling duty of distilling those desires and virtues into a child.
